Leeds Rumours Mobile

If we get a bid for Okafor, we'll ship him and move for Paixao. WACCOE ITK

07 Aug 2026 14:44:57
Okafor scored 8 league goals to Paxo Cubes' 6 league goals in previous seez.

And, what makes you think Paxo Cubes would agree to join Leeds? He turned us down last seez.. Not exactly committed.

07 Aug 2026 15:19:32
No Paxo, no party, no way. Sincerely hope this is not true, Okafor every time.

07 Aug 2026 15:47:39
Personally, always liked Oka, a big, strong, fast over 5 yards unit. Anyone who understands football can surely see that. His only downfall is being injury prone and only being able to last 60 mins.

He's only 26, so hope we can get him fitter.

Paxo Smackso for me. Doesn't want Leeds, Farke won't have him. We do need cover though, an up and coming Raphinha would be great.

07 Aug 2026 21:36:17
I'd only sell Okafor for about 2.5 times what we paid for him. Wingers or wide forwards get injured. It happens. I think it's clear when he's on the pitch and healthy, he's got the most flair in the squad, which we need.

07 Aug 2026 05:38:24
Ekrem Konur reporting LUFC interest in Max Aarons at LB.

07 Aug 2026 05:59:57
Would be great coverage for Gabby. Is Aarons a natural left footer as well?

07 Aug 2026 06:34:36
Re LB cover.

1. Isn't he right footed? A right back?
And,
2. Didn't he pull out at the last minute to join Leeds in 2023, to join Bournemouth instead?

07 Aug 2026 07:06:50
Also, can see there is a PJ coming in today from Bournemouth.. Could this be Aarons coming in already?

07 Aug 2026 08:04:56
He's right footed, AusNick.

07 Aug 2026 09:57:07
The young will cover LB no problem, great little player.

07 Aug 2026 14:41:47
He did ditch us.

He was at Thorpe Arch training ground, completing his medical, and before anyone knew what was happening, a Range Rover pulled up and took him towards Bournemouth (funnily enough his Range Rover broke down en route very quickly) , so he came back to Thorpe Arch and had to wait for a replacement vehicle to take him on his way and explain what he was doing.

He looked like a naughty schoolboy.

07 Aug 2026 14:48:45
Good post, Lad..

06 Aug 2026 23:25:01
Orlando Gill being mentioned as a possible back up keeper but nothing solid yet.

07 Aug 2026 06:42:49
Now that's a rumour that one would like to come true.

Be a very good addition to our goalkeeping pool. Impressed at World Cup.

06 Aug 2026 23:19:29
Socials reporting interest in Norwich's Jovon Makama 22yo. Plays as a forward.

07 Aug 2026 11:13:17
One year in the Championship. 10 goals in 28. Cost £1.2 from Lincoln on a 3 year, with a 2 year option.
6ft 5. That suits our profile.

07 Aug 2026 20:31:29
Haven't heard this one, but would like to sign someone like that. I fully believe we can't spend on a forward relative to big clubs. Therefore, it'll have to be a gem, Kroupi or Osula style.

06 Aug 2026 11:11:53
The Athletic reporting Trafford has completed his medical and deal is close to being finalised. Finally.

06 Aug 2026 16:52:00
Yep, doing his media duties at ER today (actually all done and he has gone home) . Announcement imminent.

06 Aug 2026 19:06:59
Finally!!

06 Aug 2026 19:46:45
Finally?

What has he missed exactly? A few shirt-sale friendlies. Now he will be rested and raring to go at the pointy start of the season. Hopefully he will be with us for ten years, making the 20% sell-on clause meaningless.



Brilliant signing. He has definitely upgraded our team to date. Four or five more of a similar ilk and we're pushing the best window to date.

06 Aug 2026 23:16:08
Already an amazing window with more to come, hopefully.

07 Aug 2026 02:00:51
Great to have a long term top keeper. Thrilled with all three so far. One more top striker, a few fillers, and I'm chuffed, Chappy.

05 Aug 2026 23:26:02
Heard a little rumour we had asked about Myles Lewis-Skelly. Interested in January apparently but now they are buying Guimares, we have asked again. Man United sniffing around him too.

05 Aug 2026 23:50:21
Hope it's true. That would be a great signing. We need to get a move on now. Hopefully the wait is killing me. MOT

06 Aug 2026 07:41:34
That's gotta be big money, surely? Unless a loan agreement. Would be a great signing tho, no doubt!
Interestingly, tho' I'm sceptical at this point, I did read that we want to bring in another 4 after Trafford!?

06 Aug 2026 08:27:10
Hope he picks up his pace then.

06 Aug 2026 09:48:00
I'd take him and Nwaneri whilst at it.

06 Aug 2026 10:02:14
Shelly off the Devon for 34, apparently. Gooners site.

06 Aug 2026 15:51:02
Man U off. Looking at Robinson from Fulham.

05 Aug 2026 23:23:33
Trafford and Rulli
Maresca says Trafford deal stalled until they sign Rulli
Rulli has agreed terms with City
( he actually signed for City 10yrs ago but never played for them!)
City have offered cheapskate price of 2 m Euros
Marseilles want 4.5m Euros
So must be close to going through

06 Aug 2026 07:43:28
The irony is that he is exactly the profile of player we need to be looking at as back up to Trafford. Capable, very experienced, and likely to still be able to push the youngster, while also mentoring him.

06 Aug 2026 11:05:10
Just like Darlow. Hopefully whoever it is doesn't pot perform our no.1. 😮

05 Aug 2026 16:13:11
Nelson Deossa supposedly now being lined up instead of Shea Charles. It's a rumour, to be clear!

05 Aug 2026 20:23:03
A midfielder?. Again, really?

How about more pressing, urgent, must-fill positions, such as

a lb,

a striker or 2,

And 2 goalkeepers (or 1 gk if Jimmy Trafford is finally found) .

05 Aug 2026 20:34:30
Disappointed! I come here to see folk link us to Ryan Kent.

06 Aug 2026 01:59:05
Deossa scored a belter for Betis against Arse**** tonight, with a 25 yd left foot drive, and then laid on a 3rd goal for Fornals.

06 Aug 2026 05:44:56
Maybe one of his most productive games ever?..

As previous season 25/26.
20 games, 0 goals, 0 assists.

06 Aug 2026 07:47:53
Yet again, but expectedly, Baz, you've failed to grasp the concept of a rumour, and jumped straight back to your own agenda, whilst moaning that it doesn't fit with your personal requirements/ expectations! It's beyond dull, and highly repetitive.

06 Aug 2026 10:11:56
Well, hopefully it's not a particularly accurate rumour for a myriad of reasons.

05 Aug 2026 10:56:04
Just announced on talkSPORT that we have been offered Raphael Leao, but no advancement other than that.

05 Aug 2026 13:15:06
Transfermarkt values him at £50M, so that's out of the question. Also, I'm always suspicious of such unsolicited "offers" of players. Why do AC Milan want to get rid of him to us?

05 Aug 2026 13:52:04
I get the impression that he isn't a great fan of Amorin and has decided, after several years in Milan, to move on. Galatasary are interested. I don't think he's heading our way.

05 Aug 2026 14:09:27
Nothing wrong with waiting and seeing, Dunelm. Patience, mate. Give it two to three weeks to not come off.

05 Aug 2026 15:13:33
Lol, Aus! Had me going for a sec there!

05 Aug 2026 18:08:11
Rafael, Lmao more like!

05 Aug 2026 18:36:33
Dgoodwin, do we have a problem?

05 Aug 2026 18:52:00
Pardon, Dave? You've lost me, mate?

05 Aug 2026 18:57:35
Maybe I've misinterpreted your previous post. It came across as though you were taking the urine out of my spelling.

05 Aug 2026 19:56:56
Allegedly offered but we haven't made any moves to get him. Think he would want UCL.

05 Aug 2026 22:18:16
Ah right, Dave - no - it was a joke. A play on words. Lmao is text shorthand for laughed my a**e off. And it's quite similar to Leao. It's probably the wittiest thing I've ever written. And no one laughed. Guess I'll get back under the stairs.

05 Aug 2026 23:05:17
Dave 0123, Norris, attack 1st, ask the questions afterwards. 🤣🤣🤣

06 Aug 2026 00:07:23
So funny, Dave. Are you a scouser?

06 Aug 2026 07:49:48
A total misunderstanding. Nowt to see here!
It was a good play on words tho, tbf!
